To help consumers assess the risks they are​ taking, the Food and Drug Administration​ (FDA) publishes the amount of nicotine fo

und in all commercial brands of cigarettes. A new cigarette has recently been marketed. The FDA tests on this cigarette yielded mean nicotine content of 25.325.3 milligrams and standard deviation of 2.72.7 milligrams for a sample of n equals 9n=9 cigarettes. Construct a 9090​% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette.

Answer:

The 90​% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is between 20.3 milligrams and 30.3 milligrams.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 9 - 1 = 8

90% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 8 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.95. So we have T = 1.8595

The margin of error is:

M = T*s = 1.8595*2.7 = 5

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 25.3 - 5 = 20.3 milligrams

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 25.3 + 5 = 30.3 milligrams.

The 90​% confidence interval for the mean nicotine content of this brand of cigarette is between 20.3 milligrams and 30.3 milligrams.

The area of a circle A is 85π ft2. ∠BAC is a central angle of the circle, and m∠BAC = 36°
BlackZzzverrR [31]
As stated the area of the circle is 85π ft2. The area of the sector BAC is a portion of this full circle area. the sector is made of 2 radii and arc that has rotated by 36°.
the magnitude of the central angle in the circle is 360°
Area for 360° central angle -  85π ft2
then the area for 1°            =  85π ft2/360°
the area of 36° sector         =  85π ft2/360° x 36°
                                           =  8.5π ft2

Do the 11% off first.

11% of 52$ is 46.38$, then you take $40 off and your total is only $6.38

if you do -40$ first then you have $12 left and 11% off that is $10.68.
